This quick and easy steak dinner features a tangy ponzu sauce and takes under 30 minutes to make.

Steak gets a bad rap. Well, it gets a very good rap, actually: Lots of people consider it a special meal, reserved for a romantic date or weekend feast. But the bad part about that reputation is that people don't realize how quickly steak can become a full-fledged meal—perfect for a weeknight dinner. Cooking the steak takes under 15 minutes, and prepping it is as easy as rubbing it down with oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. And you could totally leave it like that if you want, but we love making a quick, tangy Japanese-inspired ponzu sauce to make it feel less like a weeknight and more like a date night. Chopsticks optional.
